Now we're up to .7% complete! @Kathleen - We bought new ones. Our old ones weren't even really cabinets - they were sticky shelves with flimsy doors on front. As you can see, the initial cuteness wore off awhile ago. You guys actually have a decent setup for a kitchen, so refinishing/painting them makes sense. I would have figured that by now you would be like all homeowners and realize that projects take 50 times longer than you expect no matter how well you prepare. @kristen - Thanks.

Considering he didn't get up until 11 i'm not sure he knows how many hours are in the day. i forget - did you buy new cabinets or did you paint? curt and i are working on our kitchen this weekend and we are painting them. we need new hardware and we haven’t found any we like yet. we’re attempting to distress/weather the cabinets on top of painting/waincoting the walls. curt also thinks we should redo the bathroom, closet and landscape today.
